A truffle is a kind of mushroom that grows under the ground, usually near trees. It's considered a delicacy in many cultures and because they are very labour-intensive to find, often requiring much digging and a special kind of animal (dogs and pigs are popular) to sniff them out, they are quite expensive.

Truffles are chocolates, yes. However, truffles are also mushrooms. There is also something called truffle oil, which is a musky oil that tastes similar to dirt, with an earthy flavor.
